The general rule for changing out an oil filter is after you hand tighten it, take the oil wrench and give it a quarter turn to tighten it. This way, you can ensure it's not over tightened. ... If the O-ring is broken, this can cause the filter not to have a proper seal; and cause oil to eventually leak.
